The Salt Box is perfect for solo adventurers, business travelers and couples. It is small, but we think "perfectly formed"!

Newly converted in 2017, The Salt Box offers a compact studio space with everything you need for an overnight stop or longer break. There is a modern shower room and plenty of outside space for parking. The kitchen includes an induction hob, combination oven/microwave and fridge freezer. We provide the basics for a drink and snacks when you arrive.

Take a pause and breathe in the tranquility of Somerset in this quiet hamlet. There are loads of good local pub/restaurants, several National Trust houses close by and the Jurassic Coast is under an hours drive away to the south.

Great stay, very clean! Locals very friendly, Sarah left us to enjoy our stay, will be recommending to all our friends and family!

tom2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Very peaceful place to stay, in a nice part of the country!

Alex2017-04-12T00:00:00Z

Sarah was a great host and the accommodation was fantastic, just what we wanted. The images do not do it justice. We would recommend this to anyone looking to getaway from city life for a wonderful stay in the country. The breakfast and milk was a lovely touch.

Sophie2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Lovely little spot to spend a night or two for a relaxing and peaceful stay. Close (but not daily walkable) to the very pretty village of South Petherton with a local pub and a few beautiful shops and delis! The salt box is well equipped and spacious and very cosy!

Lauren 2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

This is a really great place to get away from it all! 5* for everything!

Alex2017-08-01T00:00:00Z

Sarah and Peter were both great hosts. They gave us instructions prior to the visit that helped and were available at the correct time for check-in. The cottage was just as described in the listing and everything was clean and cozy.

Vanshj2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

Great little place right in the countryside. Sarah was really helpful and the place was really clean! We ate at a local restaurant that was a short drive away and the food was excellent :)

Philippa2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Great location for exploring this area of Somerset. Barrington Court - National Trust - well worth a visit, as is the Barrington Boar Public House.

Our place is close to the A303 which is a 2 minute drive away, we are surrounded by scenic villages in the heart of Somerset which is ideal for walkers. We are a 5 minute walk away from the centre of South Petherton in which you can find a few small shops and a great local pub which serves fantastic food. We are also a 15 minute drive from Yeovil. You’ll love ourplace because its clean modern, comfy bed and friendly hosts! Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers.

We live on a lovely quiet estate and within a 10 minute walk is a small Coop, fantastic pub and a few nice shops

Would definitely recommend Marie and Dan's home as a great place to stay, they go above and beyond to make everything so comfortable, clean and welcoming: even so far as toiletries and slippers!! A lovely home to stay in and they both made me feel I could come and go as I please, help myself to drinks. The bedroom is very clean, well decorated and comfortable, en-suite bathroom very high spec. I really enjoyed my stay and would book again in the future.

Ann2017-06-29T00:00:00Z

Very warm and relaxed stay with Dan and Marie. Clean and quiet.

William2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

Room was very nice and clean, 10 minute drive to Yeovil, hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Will definitely be staying here again!

Alex2017-03-24T00:00:00Z

Marie and Dan were such warm and friendly hosts. They insured I was comfortable and happy, had great chat but gave me the space I wanted. The room was the perfect haven for a winters evening, mid way through my course. It is warm, cosy, clean, quiet and beautifully decorated. I fully recommend it and would stay there again if in the area.

Fair View cottage was built in 1880 and retains the atmosphere of an old house with original sash windows and fireplaces. The cottage is not overlooked by any other houses and looks out over fields and apple orchards. We are delighted to share our pretty but rambling cottage garden with guests. The room is cosy, is flooded with warm sun in the afternoons and looks out over a paddock and orchard which is a delight to walk round.

The bedroom is spacious and bright with a large sash window that looks out over the fields and across to the hills into the distance. There are tea and coffee making facilities and a tin of biscuits or cake to welcome guests on arrival. The large bathroom is across a small landing at the top of the stairs. It has a large slipper bath, porcelain sink, simple shower and is full of large house plants. This room looks out onto the cottage garden at the back of the house.
The kitchen is in constant use so we cannot offer this as a space to be used by guests. We do however offer a simple 2 course supper at £10 per head available on request that can be eaten in the kitchen with us.
There is parking on the quiet lane outside the house.

The house is situated in a quiet neighbourhood, with very little traffic noise or disruption. There are many places of interest to visit in the area, several beautiful National Trust houses and gardens, Ham Hill Country Park and Burrow Hill cider farm. There is the Royal Oak pub for good wholesome meals and fine dining at the New Farm restaurant just a short walk from the house. The nearby large village of South Petherton has all local amenities including a Coop, butcher, green grocer, bakery. The Trading Post shop and railway carriage cafe a few minutes drive away stocks a wide variety of whole foods, locally produced food and luxury food items.

I cannot say enough good things about staying with Kath! Her home is absolutely beautiful and it perfect for a peaceful retreat, my husband and I had a wonderful time. Her gardens were STUNNING and she and her husband were excellent hosts! She served us a delicious breakfast and the room and bathroom were even better than described. Trust me, you're missing out if you don't stay with Kath!

Jenna2017-06-21T00:00:00Z

Kath is a very welcoming and caring host. Her house has a very cozy atmosphere and her cottage garden is picturesque and mind-soothing, even in the rain. Everything was clean and well done and there was homemade bread for breakfast. We loved staying here so much!

Thomas2017-06-29T00:00:00Z

Pleasant stay at Kath and Trevor's. Room very clean and all the home comforts. Made to feel very welcome and excellent breakfast. Would definitely stay if in the area again. Many Thanks

Shirley 2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Very quiet location on the edge of the village. Walking distance to a couple of restaurants, but book in advance if you'd like to go as we weren't able to get in. Breakfast included home made jams and fresh bread, which was very nice.

Tim2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

At Kath's you will enjoy a true B&B experience and warm British hospitality. She and Trevor are the perfect hosts. Kath is quite the baker; we loved her flapjacks, especially! The room is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The property as a whole is lovely. It is easy to locate and well within walking distance to South Petherton. We hope to return!

Frank & Natalie2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

Kath was a pleasant host, room was quite nice, bed comfy, short stay did not hse the garden

Margaret2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

Wonderful stay! Lovely host!

Charles2017-07-21T00:00:00Z

Kath is a great host and the house/grounds is beautiful! Everything had been thought of and Kath even drove us to our friends wedding (which is why we were staying). We'd definitely stay again, especially if I get to cuddle the dogs again!

A perfect base to explore this beautiful part of the world. Just a few minutes walk into the vibrant town of South Petherton. Huge, light rooms with comfortable furniture and cosy corners. Fully equipped kitchen with separate utility/boot room. Sheltered sunny patio and level garden perfect for children. We also have chickens, geese, sheep and horses on our smallholding.

South Petherton is a vibrant local town with a butchers, bakers, grocers and co-op. There is a fantastic coffee shop and award winning local pub The Bewers Arms. On the outskirts there is a fantastic recreational ground for children. South Petherton is easily reached from the A303 however its still a very rural area with fantastic foot and cycle paths.

Bright and airy double room with ensuite shower, located in the quiet rural village of Over Stratton and attached to an award winning restaurant. Situated just off the A303 within easy reach of Yeovil & Taunton.

Situated in the picturesque village of Over Stratton in rural South Somerset, we are surrounded by farmland and orchards. The nearest shops are in the village of South Petherton, just over a mile away, with a post office, the Co-op and boutique shopping. For more adventurous shopping, Yeovil is 10 miles and Taunton 16 miles. Or you could try the famous Clarks Village of outlet shops at Street.
We are well placed as a base for visits to beautiful Bath or Exeter, even Exmoor, but why go there when you can sample the pure delights closer to home. Ham Hill country park is 3 miles down the road where you can walk around the ancient hill fort and see the view across the Somerset Levels, refresh yourself after your exertions at the Prince of Wales pub. Somerset is famous for cider, and there is none better than Burrow Hill Cider and their renowned distilled Cider Brandy.
The village of Over Stratton has it's very own Forge where blacksmith Alex Pole runs courses for beginners and the more advanced.
Somerset is not only known for its apples and cider; we are also rich in beautiful churches and National Trust properties, of which there are some real gems just a few miles from us - Montacute House, Barrington Court, Lytes Cary and Stourhead - and some private houses and gardens well worth a visit also, for instance Forde Abbey , Hestercombe & Cothay Manor
Good family days out can be spent at the Cheddar Caves and Gorge or the spooky Wookey Hole Caves on the Mendips. Also, less than an hour's drive are Longleat, Abbotsbury, Glastonbury and Wells. On a wet day, try the Haynes Motor Museum or the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton.
If it's the seaside you want, the Jurassic Coast with lovely Lyme Regis or West Bay the home of the TV series Broadchurch is just 30 - 40 minutes to the south.

We had a wonderful stay set in a gorgeous village. Room is quaint and extremely comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. Very good breakfast by Crispin. Loved it here and would book again for my next visit to Somerset. Super lovely hosts and extremely helpful. Thanks Crispin for helping out with our luggage. Much appreciated x

Natalie2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

They arranged a smooth arrival for us, and a fantastic breakfast. We were just visiting for a nearby wedding, so for us location was perfect. Nice relaxed and welcoming B&B!

Our beloved VW camper van Otter is over 40 years old and is a wonderfully romantic and peaceful place to stay. Come and stay in our lovely static Type 2 bay camper van in a secluded corner of our delightful cottage garden, with stunning views across the famous cider apple orchards of South Somerset.
Ramble through acres of apple trees, or picnic under the blossom in spring and the apples in autumn.

The van has most of the original interior, with the addition of 12V spotlighting run off a leisure battery and new cushions. There is a very small fridge in the van, big enough for a pint of milk and a few other items,kept cool by mini ice blocks. There is also a phone charging point. WiFi is not available in the van but can be accessed in the vicinity of the house.
The camper van is a compact space with a small table and two cushioned bench seats that convert into the bed.
Ambient lighting is provided by pretty fairy-lights both inside and outside the van, and it is most definitely off grid - there is no mains hook-up!
There is a wet-room shower and toilet available for use a short walk across our garden at the back of our house.
Water is in a 15 litre container, refillable a short walk away and there is a single burner gas cooker for outside use under the awning. There are tea and coffee making facilities in the van and on arrival you will be welcomed with homemade tea-time treats!
There are 2 comfortable folding chairs and a table at which to enjoy your camping feasts.
A fire pit beckons so you can sit warmly under the stars at the end of the day.
If one of the local pubs or restaurants doesn’t entice you in for supper, there is a small BBQ or we can provide you with a homemade supper in the van or you can join us in the house (booking for both essential).
There are two soft throws in the van which double as blankets.
Bring a duvet cover and pillow cases, or your own sleeping bags if preferred.
Check the forecast before your arrival – if it looks chilly bring an extra blanket or two as there is no heating in the van!
There are two hot water bottles to keep your toes warm when it is really cold!
The van is stocked with all the basic camping essentials for camp cooking and eating. Curtains can be drawn at night and retro games can be found in the van.
There is limited storage space in the van so there is a weather proof storage box in the van garden to store your extra belongings.

Over Stratton is a peaceful village and our property is situated right at the end, adjacent to a quiet country lane a few miles from the A303.
There is a booklet in the van with loads of info about the area.
The Royal Oak is a great pub in the village and the award winning New Farm restaurant is a super place to eat.
The Trading Post shop and Railway Carriage cafe is well worth a visit, they stock a huge range of organic and locally grown produce. It is within walking distance or a short drive away.

If you are looking for an authentic, natural get-away, this is your place! My daughter and I spent two wonderful days in Ota the camper van, a truly blissful experience. The van is nestled in Kath & Trevor's magical garden, overlooking the orchard, giving a wonderful feeling of space and tranquility. The van is superbly equipped and in wonderful condition, we slept like babies! Kath and Trevor and super hosts, quite obviously a talented couple as the garden and space reflects beauty and creativity. The village of Over Stratton is serene with a great local pub (only 5 minutes walk from the van), it serves lovely food and friendly staff. We will definitely be back to this hidden gem, thank you Kath and Trevir.

Nancy2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Lovely little camper in a beautiful quiet setting. Kath & Trevor are wonderful hosts and made us feel really welcome (their dogs are really cute as well), the flapjacks and bread & jam were really tasty too. We would recommend for getaways, and an escape from the norm. Try it out for something different from all the glamping tents and huts. Facilities available to use with the van are great, you have all you need for a relaxing break under the stars. The garden the van is set in is also really nice to look around, as well as the orchard next door that is accessible for walks. Look forward to staying again at some point.

Lloyd2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay with Kath. We were made to feel very welcome upon our arrival and Kath was very keen to ensure we had anything we might need. The van itself was great and we enjoyed sitting by the fire of an evening.

Richard2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely overnight stay. Otter is a dream and a beautiful van. No need to change a thing the attention to detail is perfect. Trev and Kath have an amazing home with a beautiful garden. Their dogs are especially cute and fluffy! We enjoyed an evening sitting under the stars and made use of the fire pit supplied with plenty of wood etc. from Trev and Kath at a very generous price. Have already recommended it to friends and family.

Luke2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

My first time sleeping in a camper van was a fantastic one! Kath is really warming and welcoming; the van picturesque and comfortable; the location next to an apple orchard stunning. Highly recommended!

Mingxi2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Set in a beautiful and quiet location, we couldn't have been happier to find this beautiful VW Camper Van. It backs onto a beautiful Orchard, and gives you the perfect break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We felt thoroughly recharged after spending just one evening here. The van itself is everything you expect, with original upholstery and equipment. The bed folds away very easily, and space in the back for your kitchen equipment. We were suprised by how much space we had! Kath and Trevor are the perfect hosts, and made home made rolls with jam for breakfast. We were given a large plastic Jerry can of water, and the option to purchase wood for the fire pit. I would have absolutely no hesitation about staying here again, and in fact I will before the year is out!

Steve2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

If you are looking for a quite and relaxing place that's definitely for you!! The vw van is amazing, every single detail is just perfect!! The Orchard and the garden are breathtaking! Kath and Trevor are lovely people, they took care of us and made sure our stay was pleasant and unforgettable! Hope to go back sooner or later! Andrea e Giada

Located in the quiet and peaceful South Somerset village of South Petherton, just a stones throw from the A303, therefore easy to find, this B&B offers an opportunity to relax and enjoy the wonderful countryside with its beautiful walks and cycle paths.
This recently refurbished house provides three double bedrooms all with modern en-suite bath/shower rooms.
Breakfast is served in the guest dining room offering fresh locally sourced and organically grown produce, overlooking the garden recently planted with a selection of fruit trees.
The light and elegant guest lounge offers a large selection of reading material as well as DVDs. The log fire gives a warm atmosphere in the cold winter months.
There is a large car park on the property offering safe off-road parking.
The Square House B&B has welcomed many very interesting and friendly guests since opening in 2012. All the teething problems have been overcome and now even the garden is beginning to take some shape. The fruit trees supplied some produce for the table and the raised beds will be planted in the Spring to provide more goodies for breakfast and flowers to decorate the house.
Roaring log fires give a cozy and warm welcome at this time of year.
The house was constructed in 1851 by James England, a local boy transported to Australia where he made his fortune and built the house for his retirement back in the UK. In 1924 the house was split in two and The Square House came into being. In more recent times this part of the house was occupied by John Brunner the prolific science fiction writer.
Two bedrooms have an en-suite shower room with large shower cubicle. The third bedroom has an en-suite with bath and overhead shower. All rooms have complementary hospitality trays offering fresh coffee and a selection of teas, as well as digital TV and clock radio. Of course, WiFi is available throughout the house.
There are two rooms with double beds and one with twin beds/superking. Two of the rooms can accommodate a further single bed should it be required, thus making triple rooms. There is also a baby cot available.
For the past ten years the present owner has run an award winning bed and breakfast in the heart of Bristol. The re-location to the countryside has been a long held ambition. Her wealth of experience has been carried through to this latest venture.
Breakfast is mainly organic and locally sourced produce with a large selection of fruits, compotes, cheeses, croissant, toast and of course full english breakfast. Fresh coffee and teas are available together with fruit juices. Most food preferences can be catered for, please inform the proprietor on reservation.
There is a very friendly West Highland White Terrier in residence. He has been brought up in the world of B&B and is happy to greet fellow medium and small sized dogs to share his home, although he is not so happy to extend his hospitality to other animals.
The house is a three minute walk from the centre of the village and all its amenities and a three minute drive from the A303. There is plenty of parking in the purpose-built car park by the entrance to the garden.
There is a barn and garage, so plenty of storage for bicycles, etc., also an outside tap for washing dirty boots after a hard day's exploration in the surrounding countryside.

We had a great stay in South Petherton over the Easter weekend. The square House is a lovely B&B in the centre of the village and our host was very welcoming and gave us great tips on nice walks and things to see close to the village. The B&B itself was perfect with spacious bedrooms and a nice communal room with interesting books and games. Breakfast was great, with a lot of choice. We were within easy driving distance of the sea and saw some stunning bits of coast over the weekend. All in all a brilliant long weekend.

Great place and great contact with owner. Would recommend and would stay again.

leigh2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

A pretty home with a lot of character, in a good location for us. Note that our sat nav took us some distance from the house so we had to call the host for directions. The shower was broken which we had not been advised of in advance and we initially had problems accessing the home as the lock was playing up. Luckily Amanda was easily contactable which we were very grateful for! Comfy beds, spotlessly clean and overall a nice place for us to stay. Thank you.

Amelia2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

Christos2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

This little cottage is in a lovely area , with lots of places to visit locally. It's opposite The Hollies Hotel and restaurant, we ate there one evening and it was good. The cottage is quite basically equipped but fine and cosy if you are using it as a base and I think it is priced to reflect this. Thanks

rosamund2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

Thank you Amanda for having us. We spent the weekend there as two couples, and the place was a bit small for us - the second bedroom only had a single mattress on the floor and the sofa bed is quite small and not too sturdy.

Lauren2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our weekend stay in Bower Cottage. Arriving in the pouring rain in the middle of the night, we had a bit of a faff finding the property and key above the door but everything was where they said it would be and we found everything we needed in the cottage. Parking was easy and the location great.

linda2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Cozy, rustic, old red brick out building with wood burner. Self contained mini kitchen. Shower room with underfloor heating and towel rail. Combined lounge/bedroom. Sits next to a natural pond and large wildlife garden, across from the main house. Off road parking. Perfect area for walking and cycling.

Quiet, rural and tranquil.

Beautiful little accommodation tucked away in the gardens of Eva's lovely stone house. Eva has ensured that everything you need is available, and the standard of this little conversion into a cosy cottage is very high. Warm and cosy, with a lovely bed and plenty of furniture, ensures your comfort, and the shower room, toilet and kitchen were very clean. If and when we need to pass through Somerset again, this will certainly be our first choice in future.

A lovely, cosy cabin and friendly, helpful hosts. We visited for a wedding and would love to go back again to make the most of the area and serenity of the cabin. It had everything we needed, was impeccably clean and was much more spacious than we were expecting. A perfect place for a quiet getaway to recharge batteries.

There are several good pubs/restaurants locally which I will be happy to give you details of. There are numerous National Trust properties within 15mins of us. The Jurassic Coast is approximately 45mins away.

We stopped off at Vanessa's on the way to Cornwall and loved it so much we decided to stop off on the way back. It's in a beautiful setting, in the Somerset countryside, with lovely gardens and grounds. The farmhouse itself is gorgeous and the room was lovely - very spacious and nice roll top bath! Vanessa was a great host and provided a good breakfast the next day. Highly recommend.

Di2017-05-26T00:00:00Z

Vanessa and family were absolutely wonderful hosts. The house is sublime, super clean and tranquil. Myself and my partner had a lovely game of tennis out on the courts, a tour of the gardens, chickens & horses and access to their separate barn facilities where we were able to chill out, play table tennis and unwind. The bedroom and ensuit are everything and more than you see on the pictures, beautiful, clean and cosy! The best sleep I've had in a long time (12 hours to be exact!!!) so I'd say that speaks for itself. Vanessa made an absolutely beautiful breakfast in the morning with fresh fruit yoghurt and a cooked breakfast, it was everything we needed and more. What a lovely family. I honestly cannot recommend this more! THANKYOU SO MUCH. Billie & Zoe X

Billie2017-06-27T00:00:00Z

Delightful surroundings, excellent accomodation and we were made extremely welcome. Can not recommend highly enough.

Peter2017-07-15T00:00:00Z

This is without a doubt the most gorgeous Air B and B we have ever stayed in, Vanessa and her family were extremely warm and welcoming and after just one night we felt part of the family! The room is heavenly and the location absolutely stunning. However be careful of the bath tub, it is so unbelievably comfortable (and I am not a bath person) you may never want to get out!

Meg2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Fantastic stay. Very flexible on check-in/out times and an excellent breakfast in the morning! Parking is private and amenities are very clean. Given the age of the building, the walls are slightly thin but the house has a lot of character and is superbly decorated. Overall, great value and highly recommended!

Toby2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

Vanessa and her husband made us feel extremely welcome in their beautiful home. The room was lovely and the breakfast was amazing. We slept like logs as it was so peaceful and the bed was so comfy. We would definitely recommend staying here for a quiet break in Somerset or as a stopover en route to the West Country. There are lots of lovely pubs and walks locally.

Jane2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

A beautiful old farmhouse with a comfortable room and an excellent welcome - the tea and chocolate brownies were great! A good local pub a mile or so up the road serving traditional pub food - just what we wanted.

A wonderful property in a real farmhouse, lovely renovated, great location and a truly outstanding host. You feel immediately very welcome and Vanessa gave me lots of good tips. The property itself is a real bijoux and Vanessa makes you feel very welcome. I can only highly recommend it.

Orchardlea is ideally suited to allow you time to recharge your batteries, provide much needed thinking space away from day to day demands, or simply the time to relax with friends and family and live your little slice of the good life.

Orchardlea is a 4 bedroom bungalow set in about an acre of garden in the beautiful Hamstone village of Norton-sub-Hamdon in Somerset. Nestling below the local country park of Ham Hill, a former Iron Age hill fort from where the golden hamstone is quarried, the uninterrupted views lift the spirits even on the dullest days.
In season and subject to availability fruit and vegetables from the garden can supplement supplies from a whole host of other local sources. For those who just can't cope without extended hour shopping, supermarkets are available in the nearby town of Yeovil and a 7 day a week, 7am to 10pm convenience store is situated in the adjacent village.
If alternatively you wish to dine out you are spoilt for choice starting with the village pub "The Lord Nelson" which is in walking distance and very popular with the locals and visitors alike. In the adjacent villages there in a further selection of quality country pubs. As a part way option a number of the takeaway's in the local towns provide a door to door delivery service.
In the garden, the undercover area with a gas fired barbecue provides yet further opportunity for indulging yourself.
With a number of formal and informal trails for both walking and cycling, access to the countryside is simple, with private access from Orchardlea on to the village footpath network providing immediate access. For those who wish to partake in some more serious walking local busses or private hire cars can take you to pre-planned locations allowing you to walk back to Orchardlea with a wide range of distance options available.
Fishing, golf, a local gym and sports centre, country houses and gardens to visit, swimming in one of the two nearby public indoor pools, town shopping with Clarks Village about 30 minutes away and the coast 45 minutes to an hour provide ample opportunity for a wide range of recreational activities. Or if you just want to sew, knit, read, make model aeroplanes or chill in your own space you've found just the place.

Having been born and brought-up in this beautiful village and in these parts for nearly 60 years you can imagine I'm quite biased as to its beauty. So why not look for yourselves by searching for Norton-sub-Hamdon on the internet.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay in this lovely village. Andy was a fabulous host and was fantastic with our girls. The garden was fabulous and we had everything we needed. Andy provided us with lots of information about the surrounding area & attractions and was around for any queries (or fruit picking requests from cheeky children). The house was spacious and homely with everything we could need.

Andy's place was just what we were after for a place to stay for a local wedding. Great, clean place with everything we needed for the weekend. Ideal parking and house facilities with a lovely scenic view from the back garden. Andy is a friendly host with great advice on the local area.

Jill2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Andy's place is very good value- we stayed for two nights and found everything we needed to host a couple of guests; we enjoyed ourselves sitting out in the beautiful garden and would recommend this place to anyone staying for just a few nights or for a longer stay.

we had a reunion nearby so needed a house that could house three families with children. Andy was happy for us to bring the extra beds. The house was very clean. Andy was readily available if needed. Lovely garden with trampoline, pond, blackberries/rasberries for picking - ideal for kids.

Ian2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

Andy's house is spacious and has all you need for a relaxing stay. The village is a short walk away, is old and historic, built of Purbeck stone, has a great village shop and a really good pub with lovely food. The countryside is beautiful and there are lovely walks nearby. Andy is friendly and welcoming and a lovely host.

Alison 2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

We stayed at Andy's over a sunny weekend and really appreciated the extensive garden and views over the countryside. Andy was welcoming and helpful suggesting a meal at the local Lord Nelson and although we had planned to stay in, we walked down and back having had a great meal and a couple of pints. The rooms in the bungalow are large - there are two separate seating areas which made the accommodation very flexible for the 5 of us. We hope to return!

Our place is perfect for a peaceful and relaxing stay, in the middle of a beautiful friendly village surrounded by the Somerset Levels.

Evenings can be pleasantly spent in a country pub if this is to your liking, alternatively we have Indian & Chinese takeaways & a Thai restaurant within 3-4 mile distance.

We have recently moved to Barton Cottage and our home is newly refurbished, you may also enjoy full access to the gardens.
Smoking is only permitted outdoors in the gardens. We do not accommodate pets.
A continental breakfast is included in the price.
Private Large double room, with new bedroom suite, private bathroom and WC, in a separate part of the house overlooking the gardens to the rear.
Towels, toiletries, and hair dryer are made available for your use.

Our village is quite active and there is often something going on of interest, based on the River Parrot there are nice walks, cycling, events, music, plays at the Muchelney Abbey, Potteries, Glass works and other arts and crafts which may be of interest.

Helen and Jon's place is a really wonderful place to stay. The house and gardens are beautiful and there is loads of space. Helen and Jon were so welcoming and friendly, providing lots of information about the local area and even getting us tickets to a local music night. The bed is amazing and breakfast was great. I can't recommend this AirBnB enough!!

Sophy2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Lovely place and friendly hosts! We arrived late at night due to traffic problems. We let Helen know and she was absolutely fine about it, which alleviated our stress! She waited up for us and made us very welcome. Breakfast was delicious and healthy, including home-grown fruits. Helen and Jon chatted with us, and then we had to go, so we didn't get a chance to explore the local village, but it all looked lovely! We'd definitely go back.

Sally2016-09-16T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house and gardens. Very comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay!

Catherine2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Beautiful house with everything laid out. Jon was really helpful.

Julie2017-06-06T00:00:00Z

Our first experience using this site. Fantastic experience I can't fault our hosts or accommodation. The current photos do not do this accommodation justice, what a superb find. Definitely highly recommended for people to stay with these lovely hosts in their beautiful house. We were made to feel very welcome. Quaint village, the local pub served really nice food. Would definitely return again.

Lorraine2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

We really loved this stay, the hosts were the best;fantastic space, stylish decor... hospitality plus... we wished we could have stayed longer, ideally suited for a restful short stay away... hotel close by; and we were treated to the towns best bakewell tarts at brekky, they were lovely with the freshly picked garden fruits!

Robyn2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

The county of Devon and Dorset are a puzzle of fields and woods with beautiful houses, so I found the home of Helen and Jon. As before airbnb experience I am very happy. The house is natural, almost familiar and a stranger a very English experience.

Lucy2016-08-27T00:00:00Z

Helen and Jon were the best hosts we could have wished for. They were so kind and welcoming. We were there for a wedding and they provided so many extras, including heel stoppers and umbrellas! Thank you so much for looking after us so well!

My place is close to Ham Hill Country Park which is great for walks. There are several friendly pubs in the area which serve good food. Stoke is within an hours drive of the beach (West Bay, Lyme Regis,Charmouth), Exeter and Bath. Montacute House (National Trust), is just a few miles away.. You’ll
love my place because of The location is great for sightseeing. My place is good for couples and solo adventurers.

The bedroom wing is an airy double room with views over our garden, it is connected to a small bedroom and the shower/toilet room. It is a very private area.

Stoke sub Hamdon is a very pretty village full of golden hamstone cottages. Ham Hill Country Park is great for walks, a pub breakfast, lunch or dinner, and views across to the Somerset Levels. Stoke is very close to many National Trust Properties, the Jurassic Coast and about an hour from Bath, Bristol and Exeter.

Exceeded our expectations and amazing value for money. Excellent en-suite and there was even a small fridge in the room which we hadn't expected. Thank you Sharon for letting us share your home. Hope to see you again.

Derek2017-09-02T00:00:00Z

I had an urgent family matter and I coulnt go at the end. So I cannot give any valuable opinion.

I was made to feel very welcome at Sharon's. The room had lots of space with its very own bathroom. I felt very comfortable. I would very happily go and stay there again. Many thanks Sharon!

Hadley2016-11-25T00:00:00Z

Thank you for a lovely stay in your home. Sharon and husband were very nice to us. The room very nice and clean, quiet and calm what we expected it to get. The area very nice and lovely. Highly recommended this place!!

Kaz and Mike were really nice hosts. We felt like at home and they gave us many tips. Moreover it was very interesting to talk with them and we spend quite a while talking together. The room where we slept was nice, a little bit loud because it was on side of the main road through the village. It were very glad being able to stay at your house. Thank you! Carola and Friederike

Great hosts in a beautiful location and with a fabulous breakfast including homebaked bread. Can't recommend highly enough.

Barry2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Very welcome, spotlessly clean. We suggest that host. Thank Kaz and Mike have opened the door to their garage to park our bike.

jean-luc2014-08-02T00:00:00Z

Kaz and Mike were very nice hosts and we felt very much at home. They showed us their beautiful village. We had a lovely time there. The facilities at the house were great and it was a unique cottage with an interesting history. We would definitely recommend the bnb and come back if we're near by. We felt that we got to experience "the real England".

Sofie Hecht2014-07-04T00:00:00Z

Lovely people, in beautiful and friendly Somerset. Really worth a visit. Excellent accommodation, large bedroom and bed, plenty of storage space, drawers and wardroom with enough hangers. Very large warm bathroom with carpeted floor, and large heated towel rail with soft towels. Toiletries supplied but always good to have your own eg shaving cream, washer etc. Good Wi-Fi, 24/7, desk and chair, 4 point power board with British outlets ( of course ). Bedroom has opening window and overlooks quiet medieval (?) street. The room is upstairs and there is a nearby street light which gently lights the room - some people may like a night mask but I did not need it, the window has venetian blinds. I am early to bed and early to rise and slept very well. The house is quiet. Breakfast supplied and I loved their homemade bread toasted and the good instant coffee supplied. There are excellent local farmhouse products available in Somerset so try the pâté, cheeses, ham etc. Visit the Somerset Cider Brandy Distillery, Burrow Hill. Locals buy 4 litres of half and half sweet and dry very easy drinking cider. First class accommodation with first class people :) thanks Kaz & Mike suitable for singles, couples, and business people
